Covenant Health serves over 1.2 million people – and always strives to do it with the highest caliber of medical care. With one of the largest health systems in the entire region, our Christian mission of healing is accomplished with the help of the highly trained and distinguished doctors that make up our medical staff.

As a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, separate from Covenant Health, Covenant Foundation reaches out to the community to secure funding for projects that assist the hospital. We strive to carry on the successful legacies of the St. Mary of the Plains Hospital Foundation and the Lubbock Methodist Hospital Foundation, two organizations that merged in 1998.

Part of Covenant Health’s mission is to ensure that everyone in our community has access to quality health care and health education. To do this, we offer educational classes, events and volunteer opportunities for the entire community.

Neuroradiology Services

In addition to the 64-slice CT scanner, which gives physicians a three-dimensional view of the brain, we use the following technology:

Tomography

Angiography

Magnetic resonance

Coil Embolization

One of the latest innovations found in the neuroradiology department is coil embolization or “coiling.” This procedure is a non-invasive alternative to traditional surgery most commonly used to treat aneurysms and fistulas in the brain.

How does it work?

While the patient is under local or general anesthesia, the neuroradiologist inserts a catheter into the leg and threads it through the body to the location of the aneurysm. Once it’s positioned correctly, the physician uses the catheter to insert small coils into the aneurysm. The patient’s body then forms blood clots around the coils, blocking off the aneurysm and preventing it from growing or rupturing.

What are the benefits?

Minimally invasive—Because there is only a very small incision, there’s less chance of infection and a much shorter recovery time.

Lasting effect—More than 80 percent of coiling procedures result in permanent success.

Expanded feasibility—Aneurysms that would ordinarily be considered inoperable can be repaired using coiling.
